Which Direction Is Back When You Move Something Back A Week

In the tradition of asking the internet to clarify timing phrases (see the When Is Next Tuesday? post 686 days ago), I'll post another question.

I am always confused a little bit when someone mentions that an event has been "moved back."

So here's a simple question: If Dave is scheduled to give a presentation on the 15th of next month, and he can't make it on that day so he moves the presentation back a week, when is the presentation?

  1. the 8th
  2. the 22nd

What if Dave moves the presentation up a week?
